Super Mom Saves The World

I'd like to claim this, but alas this mom can barely save her own house from a rampaging 5 year old, as I type this I've got a play tent and clean laundry on my un-made bed, and Matchbox cars all over the floor, a refrigerator that needs cleaning out and a freezer and kitchen cupboard that need some serious reorganizing. So saving the world doesn't seem to be on today's agenda.

But it is on Birdie Lee's agenda in Melanie Lynne Hauser's new release Super Mom Saves The World, an incredibly fun book that features an average suburban single mom turned Super Hero thanks to a Horrible Swiffer Accident. She has 2 kids, a scientist boyfriend who wants to get married, and ex-husband who's getting divorced for a second time and looking to get back together and Super Mom is looking mighty interesting. Add to all this PTA meetings and her day job working at Marvel Food and Fine Beverages (don't you just love the "Marvel" thing-LOL) is keeping her way too busy. Something's fishy with the Astro-Park-O-Dome Field and what's with the little leaguers that need a shave--Birdie's ready to save the day.

If you're a comic book geek, you'll enjoy looking for the comic book references...Marvel, son's name Martin Stanley Lee.

This is really good! I did an interview with her the other day on my blog, I've been a fan since her first book. I recommend people start with the first book (Confessions of Super Mom), but they're both great.
